Problem is, there never was a bottle, so there's nothing to put it back into. The virulent hatred is simply now at the forefront, or so it seems to me. Trump is the modern incarnation of Jim Crow, lynching, head bashing on the Edmund Pettus bridge, and slave ownership. The hate remains the same, only the costumes change.

Trump gave the haters permission to come out of the closet, so to speak. Parading around in public with high powered rifles and nazi symbols is OK. Sedition is OK. “There are good people on both sides.” is OK.
Wow! And I thought I was the pessimist around here! I am in the camp of people who think this is the last gasp of the white, male patriarchy and they will wane. The real question is whether their passing will be too late for our democracy and the health of the planet. I fear so.
